>Some network card questions relating to FreeBSD 2.0: > >(a) The FreeBSD FAQ doesn't mention the SMC EtherEZ >(aka 8416, 8416T, 8416BT, etc.) cards. Does anyone know >if they're supported? The Ultra is supported in 2.0, but the others weren't supported until 2.1. >(b) The FAQ says the Elite Ultra (aka 8216) does work but >it doesn't mention the 8216C. Again, does anyone know >if this works (it's a combo with RJ-45, BNC and AUI ports)? I think the 8216 is the combo version of the 8216, right? It should work. >(c) Anyone got comments on using an NE2000? Is performance >acceptable? Any config problems? It has about twice the CPU overhead compared to the shared memory cards, but it does work okay. -DG David Greenman Core Team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
